Description

Subversive and incendiary,this full-color poster book reworks classic war propaganda to comment on corporate corruption,domestic spying,election fraud,gay marriage,blind patriotism,the ‘War on Terror,’and surveillance in America today.

With laughs and jeers, Wright’s distinctive artwork and astute political commentary offers timely and clever insight into the state ofpost-9/11 America. Surveillance Means Security! is the hilarious follow-up to Wright’s previous books of reworked propaganda posters,You Back The Attack! We’ll Bomb Who We Want!and IfYou're Not A Terrorist ...Then Stop Asking Questions.

MICAH WRIGHT is a writer who has worked in television animation, comic books, graphic novels, video games, and film. After a successful career in animation, Wright became interested in the work of WWI and WWII poster artists, leading to his anti-war posters. His artwork has appeared in the New York Times, Sunday Guardian(UK), the Washington Post, The Progressive, Christian Science Monitor, the Boston Globe, and on the Fox News Channel.


“Wright’s method is ingeniously simple. . . . The result is posters that force a double take: Images that we are used to associating with old-style patriotism become a vehicle for messages that are ironic, edgy, critical - and consistently engaging.” —ROBERT JENSEN, Alternet
